Maison Bonnot Paris was founded by François Deprez and takes its name as a tribute to his grandfather, Jacques Bonnot, a professor of preparatory humanities. In naming his Parisian jewellery practice in this way, he honours a remarkable legacy, for Jacques Bonnot did far more than impart academic knowledge. He shared a vision of the world, professional rigour, and a passion for careful, considered work. Bonnot Paris draws on that spirit to offer something far beyond jewellery alone — a genuine experience, and a story rich in meaning with every creation.
François Deprez is a gemmologist with a deep passion for precious stones. With bespoke jewellery created in Paris, every stone is chosen with the utmost care, and every creation is conceived as a work of art in its own right. Attention to detail and the pursuit of excellence are principles that guided Jacques Bonnot's teaching just as they guide the house today.
Maison Bonnot reaches beyond the creation of exceptional jewellery, preserving a legacy rooted in humanist values and timeless principles. To commission a piece through our house is to join a tradition that celebrates authenticity, excellence, and the deeper dimension of every creation.
